Day 280
Words of the day: IPSEDIXITISM Insisting something is true because someone somewhere said it was. QUOCKERWODGER (19th century) a puppet like individual whose strings are pulled by someone else!
Each day this government is eroding our rights and removing protections, that have been hard won whilst members of the EU. It is almost as though they were rubbing their hands with glee waiting for January 1st with a list of EU legislation they could get rid of and now they are ticking them off as they go! Workers rights are being looked at, our human rights being slowly eroded just too name two. I urge you to protest to your MP as they are now talking about wiping a £1000 a year from Universal Credit which will affect up to 6 million, as well. These are the people who most need this assistance, they are not all lazy scam artists living off the state! The EU maybe a bureaucratic heavy weight with lots of faults but they have also enacted much that has been beneficial to us all. With the Conservatives in power our rights and freedoms have been sold for the imaginary price of sovereignty and a fear of immigration!
I read a comment on Twitter this morning which was apposite, it is attributed to Matt Haig (I don’t know who he is) “The rise of opinion news rather than fact based reality news is one of our problems” I could not agree more and have been saying so for some years. I have recently taken a bit more notice of the news channels, especially surrounding the events in America. I have been watching CNN. They number of people they interview, almost exclusively against Trump, is bewildering. There is so much “opinion” you are no longer sure what the actual facts are. Now that is a little bit of an exaggeration because they show all sorts of footage and have reporters stationed all over but you are no longer sure whether they have actually investigated what they report or are speculating on what is happening? They seem to have a lot of information on what could or should happen but your never sure what actually could or will happen?
I believe everyone deserves a second chance and therefore it is only fair they impeach Trump for a second time!
Stay well
